Looking like turnout will end up around 87%. Yes would want that way higher ideally. #indyref

Looks like turnout could be reaching North Korean proportions. I can see why Kim Jong-un was intrigued. #indyref

Scottish turnout super high in part because *every vote counts equally*. Reason #625 to dump Electoral College in US.

Never thought I’d say this but a turnout of 75% in Glasgow is very disappointing. #indyref
— Stephen Daisley (@JournoStephen) September 19, 2014
Yes sources say data suggest Glasgow could be 54% yes, 46% no. Mood quite flat in the Yes camp though. #indyref #Scotland

Some context – just 2.3% declared in #IndyRef: yes would need just 50.2% of the remaining votes to turn it around. Still early.
